I regularly think my son is going to be a professional athlete and I'm trying my best to not turn into Mickey Mantle's Dad or Earl Woods. Also, he's 4.

    That makes me think of a thing ours was doing at like, I dunno, just prior to 12 months, before she was really saying words. While laying on the changing table making sounds, she would sometimes sing/chant this phrase that was like "gong gong gong gong... AHHH!" over and over. And I would start doing it with her. We always tried to get out of her what it was or where she got it, but never could.

    Now of course at 2.5, she can say words and if she sings sometimes it'll be real songs she's learned in school or wherever. But occasionally I'll just start going "gong gong gong..." and she'll smile like "I know that!" and start doing it with me again. But she still can't tell us what it is

    Whether it's professional athlete or some other huge money-maker, sure would be nice to someday have your kid buy a house for you

    My 2 year old “helped” me put my 1 year old’s birthday present together. As soon as I came in the house with a screwdriver he got his whole tool set and handed me the parts I needed. Blew me away.

    Just had our 2 year appt. He is 99.5% for height at 3 ft 2in, and the doctor said he is very advanced developmentally. He asked if either of us were kid geniuses. So thats my humble brag contribution for the brag about your kids thread.

    To my point before tho, 6 months ago he only knew "mama, dada" and a couple other words and seemed way behind. Definitely seen a reversal and now we feel dumb for even being worried about it at the time. I was reading articles and listening to podcasts on toddler development lol. Now it's like night and day.

    I've been hyping it up to my six year old, and while I don't think the moment has truly set in with her, I've made it clear this is a big deal for her and her sister going forward.

    If they didn't show it to her while she was in school today, I plan to show her Harris being sworn in later tonight.

    My girl is still very young and won't understand the significance of this event for some time- but I did feel an extra bit of pride and hope in my heart as I held her and read to her this morning after breakfast.

    My girls (8.5 & 5.5) are very excited. The older one was disappointed 4 years ago. She wants to be POTUS, but I am pushing her towards medicine.

    We talked about Kamala with my 2 year old this morning. She didn't comprehend it at all, yet insisted on calling both my parents and my wife's mom on the way to daycare to tell them "Kamala is Vice President. There is a girl in the White House." She ran up to our daycare provider and told her the same thing the moment we got there. It was definitely a proud dad moment, even with the lack of understanding of what she was saying.

We counted 100 words my daughter knew by the time we saw the doctor and she was stringing 5-8 words together.

    She has mesmerized a few of her favorite books recently. As part of bedtime stalling earlier this week, she told me that she needed to read my parents a bed time story so that they could go to sleep. We hopped on Zoom and she read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? to them verbatim.
    The only anecdotal development trend I can see is that girls tend to learn speaking more quickly than boys and boys tend to develop motor skills more quickly than girls.

    Wife and I have looked up a thousand links to make sure we have all the necessary shit when traveling with a kid. Our son will be almost 2 when we fly to Orlando in July (Disney!). Any tips on air travel with a kid for the first time and must-haves and shit we won't need so we don't over pack?

    EDIT: We do plan on taking advantage of have groceries sent to the room for when we arrive. That will be huge on stuff like water, diapers, toiletries, snacks, etc. I'm mainly talking for air travel itself for the most part. But stuff to have there for 5 days is also helpful.

    We only flew with our first daughter once and she was only like 4 months old. It was just about keeping her from crying and she did great. Of course, she was still on the boob so that helped a lot. Other than that I think we just kept her distracted with like a noisy little toy and her wubby and it went well. Not sure what necessities for a 2 year old other than toys and probably coloring crap. If it were me I'd probably also have the tablet ready with many episodes of her shows downloaded, and be teaching her how to get comfortable with headphones ahead of time.

    Also wearing a mask if you haven't already started that. Our girl is 2.5 and it's been a process getting her to wear one. She's decently good with it now.

    Kinda sucks to have to have taken all this time off from traveling with her, and now our new 4 month old, because they won't be as used to it. Same with dining out and whatnot.

    Disclosure - Our trip last year got cancelled before we could try it out BUT you can get seatbelts for airplanes that will function just like the 5 point harness in a car seat. When we first flew with our toddler we found it difficult to keep him in his seat for takeoff and landing. This device was recommended from a friend and we were eager to give it a shot anyway.

    I reckon it was this:

    Book a flight time that coincides with your son's nap time. We flew with our son when he was 11 months old. The flight out was perfect. Gave him a bottle right after we got on the plane and he slept the entire 2 hour flight. The flight back was pretty terrible because he didn't want to sleep at all and basically cried the whole time. No idea what the difference was because the flight times were similar I think.

    For a 2-year old, yeah, probably need a tablet handy if they aren't sleeping. Save a new toy they haven't seen before and give it to them once they get on the plane. Have snacks ready when needed. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

    Oh, post-it notes. Buy a pack and just let kiddo go gangbusters sticking them everywhere - ours loved this. Easy to clean up afterwards too.

    Seriously though at this age it's all about occupying them and getting a nap in. Make sure they're filled up before getting on the flight or immediately after. Plenty of snacks on deck. Pacifier and entertainment from there on out. Hopefully no issues with ears popping but I think there's headphones or ear muff type things that can combat that.

    Suggestion - give the kiddo a lollipop. This will force them to swallow often, and hopefully keep the ears feeling ok.

    I love ideas like that. Kids will find enjoyment in the simplest things. It's really easy to over-complicate or over-think entertaining kids.

    I remember some of this but overall don't remember it being a huge deal. Another thing my wife read about and we did was keep a wet washcloth in a ziplock back in the freezer.

    For nighttime, isn't that what pacifiers help with too?

    We didn't have many night time troubles. If it's really bad, have you tried baby Tylenol?

    For nighttime, isn't that what pacifiers help with too?
    My son dumped the pacifier at 1 month and opted for the thumb. #braceslife

    We have, we don't love medicating him a lot if we absolutely don't have to, but we've definitely used this. And it's not every night, just sometimes you can tell his teeth are bothering him and it's sad to know he's in pain. Maybe I'm just a baby myself and should stop worrying every time he cries lol

    Baby Tylenol or Baby Motrin should help at night. You're not "medicating" him, he's in pain and you're helping to alleviate that pain. And giving him a recommended dose of something like Tylenol or Motrin isn't going to cause him any adverse side effects.

    Flying at 6 months was a breeze. We put my daughter the boob during takeoff and descent, and she slept most of the other time.

    Flying at 18 months was a whole different animal. Bring all the snacks and activities you can think of, as well as a tablet stocked with his/her favorite shows. 3 out of our 4 flight legs went fine, although it was like work the whole time. The fourth was tough and we felt like "those parents" embarrassed by their screaming toddler. My empathy towards babies and toddlers struggling on a flight has grown immensely over the past couple of years.

    6 months to about 10 months is the "goldilocks" age for children I think in terms of ease of parenting. They don't move around too much so they don't get into trouble easily and they finally have a good sleep schedule. It's like the calm before the storm.

    I think we must have just been good about letting our son cry it out. After he started sleeping through the night at around 5 or 6 months I can think of only about 1 or 2 times that we ever got up with our son during the night, who is now 2 years old. Hard to compare though since I don't know how much your child is crying at night. Unless our son was just completely hysterical where it really seemed like something was wrong, we would always just let him cry it out.
